Does this glue work well with pine?

It’s specifically aimed at the property and texture of balsa wood which is light and porous in nature. I think it may be effective with very light pine but may not bond as effectively.

will this stick wood to plastic or wood to metal? or is it just wood on wood?

This adhesive is intended for wood joints only, as it requires porous surfaces and an 'escape route' for the solvent to evaporate. It might stick wood to some plastics, but there is a risk of excessively softening any plastic it is likely to adhere to.

Can I use this to glue twigs and tiny branches to make miniature fairy furniture? I have used a glue gun, but whatever I bond with that comes apart.

Not sure wood would need to be very dry, glue gun possibly not hot melt whitch is what you would need for twigs
